What are a few things that you can find that are edible in the wilderness?

I'm just wondering what a few things might be that are edible that you can find in the wilderness-for ScoutsWhat are a few things that you can find that are edible in the wilderness?
Hello nosfuelman:



Most plants are edible, some don't taste good nor have any nutrients the human digestive system can handle, and only a few are noxious/poisonous to humans.



The Wilderness Survival merit badge booklet and the BSA Field book will have some edible plants listed. Stay away from mushrooms/toadstools, as it is too difficult to tell the good from the deadly.



Blackberries are prevalent in most areas, and the entire dandelion plant can be eaten. Wild asparagus can be found in most forests, as well as wild carrot, onion, and garlic.



Keep on Scoutin'
nuts, berries, little animals. Reminds me of my military survival course, it we had not found a country store and eaten bologna sandwiches we would have starved.What are a few things that you can find that are edible in the wilderness?
You need to go to the library and get a book with pictures to carry with you and the scouts. You do not ever-EVER want to go by what someone here tells you. You could kill one of those kids.
if you live in Scotland or England lots off protein,rabbit,hare,deer,fish off all varieties all the year round, with lots off fruit and veg in the summer,but in the winter the vegetation dies and your stuck with protein..so you have to learn how to preserve your,carbohydrates,to see you through the cold months.
pine needles. they taste like an Orange
lichen is everywhere, and has mucho protein.



same with bugs. Most bugs are edible, and can keep you alive.



almost all tubers are safe to eat, but bitter.



I don't know of any nuts that are not safe to eat.
guy above me is right except you need to boil lichen to make it edible. most berries that arent opaque in the middle are usually edible.
I'm a Scout, and I'm pretty sure you can eat dandelion leaves because they have a lot of Vitamin A, and they're used a lot in salads, berries, fiddle heads, nuts, cat tails, pine needles, and some barks (I know birch bark for sure). Check out the Scout Fieldbook - it's got a lot of good stuff, and usually how you can tie it into the program. YIS, Courtney
